Well, stuff like this keeps stoking the anti-theist fires
Opposition to bill banning marital rape
Women should remain silent in churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission. ~ 1 Corinthians 14:34
Wives submit to your husbands, as is fitting to the Lord. ~ Colossians 3:18
Or these sorts of problems
Here's a few more if you're interested.
I mean where do these parents get these crazy ideas?
Luke 8:50
50 When Jesus heard it, He answered him, "Don't be afraid. Only believe, and she will be made well."
Mark 16:17
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; 18 they will pick up snakes; (A) [a] if they should drink anything deadly, it will never harm (B) them; they will lay hands on (C) the sick, and they will get well."
Matt 10:*
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with skin diseases, drive out demons. (A) You have received free of charge; give free of charge.
Matt 21:22
22 And if you believe, you will receive (A) whatever you ask for in prayer."
John 14:12
12 " I assure you: The one who believes in Me (A) will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, (B) because I am going to the Father. (C)
Or go visit Army of God and let it speak for itself.
Opposition to bill banning marital rape
The bill, which is designed to outlaw marital rape, was tabled in the House of Assembly last month.
However, many Bahamian men, like taxi driver Pemmie Sutherland, say the bill is "simply unnecessary."
"It is ridiculous for them to try to make that a law, because I don’t think a man can rape his own wife. After two people get married, the Bible says that they become one – one flesh. How is it possible to rape what is yours?" asked Mr. Sutherland.
Elvis Russell told the Journal that he does not support the bill either because there is no such thing as rape within a marriage.
"Even if a woman says no to her husband it still can’t be considered rape because she is his wife. He already paid his dues at the church and she already said ‘I do,’ so from then on, even if [a man] forces sex on his wife, it isn’t rape," he said.
Despite popular belief that most women are in support of the bill, there were quite a few Bahamian women who share Mr. Sutherland’s and Mr. Russell’s views.
Deanne Sweeting said that she strongly disagrees with the bill and does not understand why so many women are supporting it.
"I disagree with the bill because I disagree that a man can rape his wife. The Bible tells me that a man’s body is his wife’s and her body is his. How could he rape her?" asked Ms. Sweeting.

Or these sorts of problems
In March 2008, Leilani Neumann’s daughter was sick. She and her family prayed and prayed for the girl to get better, but she didn’t.
They thought their God was testing their faith. They didn’t want to show their lack of faith by going to a doctor. So the child died of untreated diabetes

According to a study in "Pediatrics",
One hundred seventy-two children who died between 1975 and 1995 and were identified by referral or record search. Criteria for inclusion were evidence that parents withheld medical care because of reliance on religious rituals and documentation sufficient to determine the cause of death.
